The keypad (user interface) reported a problem to the control board. Maytag recommends a one-minute power reset first.

What this code means
F2
The keypad (user interface) reported a problem to the control board.
What F2 indicates
Your keypad (user interface) sent a problem report to the control board, and the display answered with F2. The keypad or the associated wiring is what the Maytag text names. Applies to: Maytag over-the-range units.
Resetting the microwave
The reset begins at the circuit breaker(s): turn them off for one (1) minute. Next, turn the circuit breaker(s) on again. Monitor the display for one (1) minute and note whether the error remains absent. End with a check of microwave operation.
When the code remains, schedule service rather than repeating the reset over and over.
